     CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION 
     This application is a division of Ser. No. 25,879, filed Apr. 2, 1979, now pending.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to novel prostaglandin analogs.Particularly, the invention relates to prostaglandin analogs wherein theC-19 position is substituted by oxo, i.e., 19-keto-PG compounds or19-oxo-PG compounds. Most particularly, the present invention relates tonovel 13,14-Didehyro-inter-oxa-11-deoxy-19-oxo-PGF₁ compounds, adisclosure of the preparation and pharmacological use of which isincorporated here by reference from U.S. Pat. No. 4,228,104.

PRIOR ART

Prostaglandins exhibiting a variety of substitution at the C-19 positionare known. See particularly J. C. Sih, et al., JACS 91:3685 (1969)wherein 19-oxo-PGE₂ and 13,14-dihydro-19-oxo-PGE₁ are disclosed.Further, Chemical Abstracts 86:43265H purportedly discloses 19-oxo-PGF₂α. The abstract is derived from Japanese Kokai 76 82,245.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention particularly provides:

a compound of the formula ##STR1## wherein D is

(1) (CH₂)₃ --O--CH₂ --,

(2)(CH₂)₂ --O--(CH₂)₂ --, or

(3) --CH₂ --O--(CH₂)₃ --;

wherein Q is α-OH:β-R₅ or α-R₅ :β-OH, wherein R₅ is hydrogen or methyl;

wherein R₆ is

(a) hydrogen

(b) alkyl of one to 12 carbon atoms, inclusive,

(c) cycloalkyl of 3 to 10 carbon atoms, inclusive.

(d) aralkyl of 7 to 12 carbon atoms, inclusive,

(e) phenyl,

(f) phenyl substituted with one, 2, or 3 chloro or alkyl groups of oneto 3 carbon atoms, inclusive,

(g) --(p-Ph)--CO--CH₃,

(h) --(p-Ph)--NH--CO--(p--Ph)--NH--CO--CH₃,

(i) --(p-Ph)--NH--CO--(p--Ph), (j) --(p-Ph)--NH--CO--CH₃,

(k) --(p-Ph)--NH--CO--NH₂,

(l) --(p-Ph)--CH═N--NH--CO--NH₂,

(m) β-naphthyl,

(n) --CH₂ --CO--R₂₈,

wherein (p--Ph) is para-phenyl or inter-para-phenylene, wherein R₂₈ isphenyl, p-bromophenyl, p-biphenylyl, p-nitrophenyl, p-benzamidophenyl,or 2-naphthyl, or

(o) a pharmacologically acceptable cation;

wherein R₃ and R₄ are hydrogen, methyl, or fluoro, being the same ordifferent, with the proviso that one of R₃ and R₄ is fluoro only whenthe other is hydrogen or fluoro; and

wherein X is --C═C--.

The compounds of the present invention are particularly useful forinducing prostaglandin-like biological effects, as described in UnitedStates Serial No. 26,066. Uses of compounds in accordance with thepresent invention include, therefore, antiasthmatic indications.
